Students wishing to focus their studies more intensely on environmental issues may choose to do a minor in Environmental Studies or a second major in Environmental Policy. Mellon College and Chemical Engineering students may minor in Environmental Science. All engineering students can select a minor in environmental engineering, designated for engineering students.
Besides giving a deeper working knowledge of environmental issues, these minors can also help a student recognize and assess options about the ways they would like to be engaged in environmental issues in their future. These options also give them a background to keep learning about emerging environmental issues throughout their lives and make sound environmentally sustainable decisions as citizens, consumers, professionals and inhabitants of our planet.
